40 LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTORY, 
The Dama Wallaby derives its Latin name from having been 
supposed to have been first obtained on Eugene Island, off 
the West Coast ; while its English title is stated to be that by 
which it is known to the natives of the mainland. Allied to 
Macropus thetidis of the East Coast, it may be readily distin- 
guished from that species by the rufous fore legs and the 
conformation of the upper incisor teeth. ;
